Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 231: Unbeatable

*BOOM!*

With a great explosion, around Greg's body golden flame vortexes that were neither flames nor wind appeared, while around him, the ground shook with visible tremor.

"!"

The moment Henry and Scott noticed this they stopped moving and looked at Greg with shock and stun.

"What a suffocating presence!"

Even though Greg was not even on the God rank, the Flame Waves around his body were releasing God rank presence all the time, while the ground around him suddenly started to leak top Ascender rank presence.

However, what they didn't know, was that Greg was just as surprised as the two experts before him.

Because he formed the connections between his Flows with great concentration, he didn't know what changes happened with his power.

But now that he saw it with his very two eyes, he instantly understood it and felt shocked.

Not only did his three elements' connection with him become better, but their strength becomes stronger as well.

However, nothing comes without consequences and Greg knew this. He already knew what he should wait for the moment he activated his First Layer and the Third Flow, and it came right away.

A feeling that was neither physical nor mental, deep somewhere inside Greg's body a pain appeared making him to frown slightly.

"So this should be the Soul Tempering process that Alice talked about. Every time I activate my elements at the same time, this feeling will become worse and worse as time goes on. However..."

However, because he felt this pain, Greg could use his First Layer without a time limit. He only needed to sustain and ignore the pain and he would be fine.

As for his connection with his Third Flow, well, Greg knew that it still had a time limit and could only use it at least for half a minute.

"Let's see what I can do with the three elements at the same time.", said Greg and without hesitation, he moved forward.

"!"

Henry and Scott seeing that Greg moved with crazy speed wanted to move, however, suddenly they felt as the temperature around them started to skyrocket in an instant.

"He doesn't even on the God rank, yet his flames are on par with such a rank!", said with shock Scott as he felt his skin to burn slightly because of Greg's flames.

"It doesn't matter how strong his flames are, he is still on the Ascender rank. We will beat him!", said Henry with a serious expression and waved his scythe.

Instantly, the mad hot temperature around them decreased, while around the scythe dim golden flames started to appear.

"Take this!", said Henry and swung his weapon toward Greg.

*BAM!*

With a sound that was similar to bomb detonating, golden flames exploded from Henry's scythe and flew toward Greg in a slash.

Affected by Nick's power which made his body slower than normal, Greg frowned slightly and stomped on the ground.

*TREMBLE!*

With a vibration that was almost similar to an earthquake, a huge piece of stone emerged from the ground and protected Greg from the assault.

*BOOM!*

With a great blast, smoke, dust and golden flames flew everywhere while the ground below melted away, making Scott to turn surprised by Henry's power.

However, it was only for a second, because the next moment suddenly an even shocking happened.

From the black smoke before them, suddenly Greg's body burst forward, making Scott to turn surprised.

"How can he move so fast under Nick's power?!"

However, his answer soon followed as he noticed that Greg's feet were melted into the ground, and used the earth itself as a skateboard.

And what was even more, the strange half-transparent flames around his body moved like crazy, giving him even more speed than before.

"!"

"Watch out!", shouted suddenly Henry from the side, and the only thing Scott saw was a black flash flying by right before his face, cutting a huge earth pillar into two just before it could have hit his body from below.

"Almost!", thought Greg as he moved toward Henry, using both his earth and wind element as a boost.

With the speed of the wind, the destructive, power of the flames, and the support of earth which could help him in movement, defense, and in the assault, Greg felt invincible.

"Only if that power wouldn't limit my movement speed, and support thee two, I would have already beaten them."

As Greg thought about this, he finally arrived before Henry and kicked toward his side with his right leg, while attacking his right with an earth pillar from the left.

"!"

*Swish!*

*BAM!*

Barely avoiding the kick, Henry watched as Greg's leg swept through the place eye stood a moment ago and with a powerful slam, his leg exploded into the earth pillar on the side.

Watching as a simple kick turned the massive earth pillar into debris and dust, while the flames burnt the small pieces into ash, Henry looked stupified.

Nick who fought with sweat against Joe's rapid attacks glanced toward Henry's direction from time to time, but even he looked shocked.

"One is scarier than the other. Are these two born as monsters or what?!", thought Nick with blood flowing down his cheek, as he avoided Joe's Jade Sword only by a hair's margin.

Averting his gaze from Henry because he was in just as a dire situation as those two were, Nick flicked his wrist and pointed at Joe.

"Freeze!"

*BAM!*

Instantly, several white-colored loops with strange carvings on them appeared around Joe's crazily moving figure, making his speed to drop drastically.

Feeling the power on his body, Joe just simply frowned slightly however still moved with a speed that looked like a flash and blurry from the outside.

"Not working?", thought Nick with shock as he avoided another fast attack from Joe's weapon.

However, it was not like Nick's time-slowing ability didn't work, but simply wasn't enough to make Joe's speed slow down.

Using his ability to reach the God rank, while replenishing his energy through his Consume the Skies power, currently, Joe was unstoppable.

His speed has already reached a point where it was not only insanely quick, but there was no one else who could rival him in acceleration.

The only way to stop him now should be Jonathan's time-stopping power or Zane's God rank strength.

However, even like this that Nick didn't have either of those two, he was doing quite great.

Even Joe looked surprised that he was still unable to deliver a proper blow on his opponent, even though his speed almost reached the level of untrackable.

"Then I simply need to move faster no?", thought Joe and without hesitation, his body flashed with greater color than before.

With a blinding yellow light, like thunder out of nowhere, Joe flashed behind Nick's body and swung the hilt of his sword toward Nick's neck.

"!"

Knowing he would be unable to rival that speed and also would be unable to defend, Nick put his palms together into an O shape and said, "Reverse!"

*BOOM!*

Immediately as those words sounded from his mouth, everything, including Joe's sword which was inches away from Nick's neck and the three in the distance, came to a sudden halt.

"Reverse...", said calmly Nick and slowly interlocked his fingers, making a praying pose before his chest.

However, instantly as he did that, like pushing the reversal button on a remote control during a film, everything slowly started to move backward.

Bit by bit, Nick watched as everything around him moved backward in the exact way as happened, and closed his eyes.

"I am ashamed to say this... But we are unable to beat them. Even though we are above them in rank, their strength is completely on par with us if not above."

As he said this, Nick slowly opened his eyes and said, "After I reversed time to the point where they didn't use their power, I will seal them into a time prison. With that, we will be able to take both of them back."

As Nick said watched Joe's and Greg's figure to move backward and slowly reach the point where they were surrounded by the Dia Family members.

"Finally... Now then as the last ste-, eh?"

Just as Nick was about to use his ability to seal the two into a time prison, where time didn't flow properly, suddenly from Greg's body a blinding white light broke forward.

"What is that!?", said Nick with widened eyes, and watched as the white light manifested on Greg's face, and a black smiling demon mask appeared out of thin air.

"Interesting ability indeed. Reversing time itself is quite a powerful strength, but not against me."

While listening to what Greg said, Nick watched in silence as white light broke out from the demon mask, and made Greg and Joe to move freely again.

Nick seeing as this happened, looked stupefied and watched as Greg and Joe looked at him in a calm yet cold manner.

"These two are complete freaks!"
